A cat keeps purring, no matter if it is inhaling or exhaling, a baffling accomplishment.
A cat uses its whiskers to determine if a space is too small to squeeze through. The whiskers act as feelers or antennae, helping the animal to judge the precise width of any passage.
A cat's arching back is part of a complex body language system, usually associated with feeling threatened. The arch is able to get so high because the cat's spine contains nearly 60 vertebrae which fit loosely together. Humans have only 34 vertebrae.
A cat's jaw can't move sideways.
A cheetah can advance 7 to 8 meters in a single stride, and the animal completes four strides per second. A stride is measured as the distance between successive imprints of the same paw.
A chicken will lay bigger and stronger eggs if you change the lighting in such a way as to make them think a day is 28 hours long.
A cow can't give milk until she's given birth to a calf
A cow gives nearly 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime.
A cow weighs about 1,400 pounds and eats about 55 pounds of food per day.
A crocodile can't stick out its tongue
A crocodile weighing 120 pounds exerts a force of about 1,540 pounds between its jaws. A human being's jaws exert a force of only 40 to 80 pounds.

A dolphin can remember a specific tone far better than can a human.
A donkey is an "ass", but an ass is not always a donkey. The word "ass" refers to several hoofed mammals of the genus Equus, including the Onager.
A famous stallion will, on retirement, command an impressive stud fee for servicing approved mares. Specialist stud-farms house one or more stallions, each of which is allowed to service about 40 mares per season.
A female mouse may spawn as many as ten litters of eight to ten young during her lifetime — which is generally less than a year. The gestation period is three weeks, and the young mice reach maturity in only ten weeks.
A fox litter is typically 10 to 15 pups
A full-grown moose may be 8 feet high at the shoulder and weigh almost a ton.
